The artist went digging through the crates to find me a discontinued patch, you can't beat service like that.

About PaperKindness

Sales 525

On Etsy since 2015

Some of my sketches from something I'm working on (August 2016).

Being nice helps.

My name is Kristin, I'm a graphic designer living and working in the Montreal area.

This shop is an extension of my daily practice. I often design helpful forms and paper products for my friends and family. I also design greeting cards year-round for personal use, often selling cards to those around me.

Asking for payment has often been a sore spot for me, but creative work is work, and I'm learning to value that. Friends have been saying I should open an Etsy shop for ages, so here I am, trying that on.

I like designing, and I especially like producing helpful designs for those around me. I make things. All the time. I write. I doodle. I try things. I read. I consume art.

If it were 200 years ago and I was a dude I'd have a patron and could work creatively without thinking about bills, but it's 2017 and creative work is hard. (Interesting tidbit: I tried finding a patron of the arts on Craigslist but man did that not work).

A lot of my work these days deals with self-care, mental health and kindness. All things that touch on our ability to get through a hard time.

Sometimes, for some of us, that hard time is pretty constant.

Hopefully this shop will be a place where I can create things that represent a need in me and my friends which can then serve and mirror the needs of others.

Thank you for encouraging my paper kindness,
Kristin.
